Kupala Blessed Ritual Water
CAD $36.00
People believe that the celebration of Kupala is the only time when the earth reveals its secrets. Also known as Summer Solstice, the longest day and shortest night of the year. Ferns bloomed to mark places where she buried her treasures, the trees spoke and moved, and the wild witches gathered. Many rites related to this holiday connect to the role of water and fire in fertility and ritual purification. On this night, village folk roamed through the forests in search of different magical herbs and the fern flower. There was an ancient belief that on the eve of Kupala ferns would bloom. Prosperity, luck, power, and discernment befall all who found this elusive fern flower.
Girls would float wreaths of flowers (often lit with candles) on the rivers to gain foresight into their romantic relationships from the flow patterns of the flowers on the water. Men would attempt to capture the wreaths, in the hope of capturing the interest of the woman who had floated it. People built bonfires to jump over as a test of love, bravery, and faith.
Ritually wash to purify yourself or items with this blessed holy water. Sprinkle in the four corners of your yard to bless your land or use as an offering for your ancestors, fertility blessings or rain-making. May your families crops be plentiful and your world full of prosperity.
Well water collected in Northern Alberta and secretly blessed by a Ukrainian Orthodox Priest during blessings of the graves.
DO NOT DRINK!

use this water when I re-do altar stuff and have used during Litha and put it in each corner of each room for blessings.
